1
A woman came up to me and said
2
"I'd like to poison your mind
3
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
4
Though I am not unkind"
5
She looked at me, I looked at something
6
Written across her scalp
7
And these are the words that it faintly said
8
As I tried to call for help:
9
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
10
And I've often been told that you only can do
11
What you know how to do well
12
And that's be you,
13
Be what you're like,
14
Be like yourself,
15
And so I'm having a wonderful time
16
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark
17
Whistling in the dark
18
Whistling in the dark
19
Whistling in the dark
20
Whistling in the dark
21
Whistling in the dark
22
There's only one thing that I like
23
And that is whistling in the dark
24
A man came up to me and said
25
"I'd like to change your mind
26
By hitting it with a rock," he said,
27
"Though I am not unkind."
28
We laughed at his little joke
29
And then I happily walked away
30
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
31
Where the two of us live today.
32
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
33
And I've often been told that you only can do
34
What you know how to do well
35
And that's be you,
36
Be what you're like,
37
Be like yourself,
38
And so I'm having a wonderful time
39
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark

There's only one thing that I like

And that is whistling in the dark
47
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
48
And I've often been told that you only can do
49
What you know how to do well
50
And that's be you,
51
Be what you're like,
52
Be like yourself,
53
And so I'm having a wonderful time
